    I have the jiggly inner thigh as well, I do squats and lunges, I for sure see a change on the front and side of my thigh but not the inner. Would like to see responses...

    The jiggle is fat.. thats another key component. Lose the fat=lose the jiggle.

    Do cardio, squats and lunges, and eat a deficit.. eventually you'll see change.

    Obviously I know its fat and OBVIOUSLY I do cardio and eat at deficit and I have not seen any change on my inner thigh that is why I was asking for suggestions not for a sarcastic remark thanks!!:frown:

    I don't think she was being sarcastic, at least it didn't seem that way to me.

    A lot of people think that squats and lunges alone will help them lose the fat in their legs and they won't. Obviously they give a calorie burn, which contributes, but if you are building or maintaining muscle in your legs to firm them up through these exercises, it won't make the slightest difference unless you are losing the fat as well.

    Fat loss comes from a deficit, which is easiest to achieve through diet or cardio. Squats and lunges are amazing, but to show the muscle and have less fat there, the deficit itself is the main thing.

    You have to be patient, when you have a deficit and are losing fat, you can't choose where this fat comes from (you can't spot reduce). For some people it's from the thighs first, and some it comes from the thighs last, but if you are in a deficit, they WILL lose the fat in time. :smile:

    In short: A calorie deficit (through diet and cardio) to lose the fat + strength exercises such as squats and lunges to build/maintain the muscle you have in your thighs (which is what keeps it firm looking)

    Thank you.. this is what I meant, and she said it perfectly.

    As others have said you can't spot-reduce fat, but I've found the one exercise that targets my inner thighs like no other is kettlebell swings, as heavy as you can go!

    Front or back squats wide shoulder width stance and deep (front squats place more emphasis on the quads than back squats)
    Sumo squats work too
    Pretty much any wide stance compound leg exercise is going to work the inner portion

    An old book called "Thinner thighs in 30 days" has some great targeted inner thigh exercises. This will help with the squats and lunges.

    Hope that helps!

    Get a medium sized bouncy ball, put it between your thighs and hold it there while you do squats.
